Is it worth it? (sp)

I am 32 weeks prgenant, i hate hate my job, my boss is an ass who gives me no credit, scedules me at every opportunity for an inconvineint shift, etc. i so badly want to just tell him to take this job and shove it but the thing is i was trying to stay on for the extra money and maternity benefits , my mom got me the job and keeps tellig me its not a good idea to quit that i should get my benefits etc and she got me the job and honestly i dont want to make her look bad...in your opnion would the stress of it all and the inconvinence of having to find a sitter for nights etc be worth it to u to live more comfortably for eight weeks rhen get 100 a week for 12 weeks postpartum...any advice

if your husband can support you and your family without your income then quit. if not, stick it through so you can get maternity leave/benefits. and then, just don't go back to that job after your 6 weeks is up. then tell your boss what you think.
